“…Several of these by-products have been used as supports and/or substrates for production of metabolites of industrial interest, such as organic acids, antibiotics, pigments, flavor and aroma compounds, bioactive molecules and a great variety of enzymes (Martins et al, 2011). Biotechnology offers significant advantages, such as high concentration of metabolite obtained product stability and adaptability of microorganisms especially fungi system with low free Science Publications AJABS water content (Chen, 2013;Howard et al, 2003;Pandey, 2003;Pandey et al, 1999;Shah et al, 2005).…”

Biological wastes contain several reusable substances of high value such as soluble sugars and fiber. Direct disposal of such wastes to soil or landfill causes serious environmental problems. Thus, the development of potential value-added processes for these wastes is highly attractive. These biological wastes can be used as support-substrates in Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) to produce industrially relevant metabolites with great economical advantage. In addition, it is an environment friendly method of waste management. In this study were analyzed six different Mexican agro industrial residues to evaluate their suitability as support-substrate in SSF, between physicochemical properties that have included Water Absorption Index (WAI), Critical Moisture Point (CHP) and Packing Density (PD). The selection of an appropriate solid substrate plays an important role in the development of an efficient SSF process. The results provided important knowledge about the characteristics of these materials revealing their potential for use in fermentation processes.

“…Production of these enzymes from white-rot fungi has been well documented. However, in recent years, there are several reports of these ligninolytic enzymes being produced from other fungi like Phylosticta, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium (Sahoo and Gupta 2005;Shah et al 2005;Kumari et al 2002). Recently, laccase, lignin peroxidase, xylanase, endo-1,4-b-D-glucanase and exo-1,4-b-D-glucanase production by Aspergillus sp.…”

Selected isolates of fungi were grown on wheat straw and corncob in the presence of different moistening agents such as water, molasses, potato dextrose broth and distillery effluent. All the fungal isolates responded differently with respect to growth and ligninolytic enzyme production. Fungal growth on different substrates was checked by calculating ergosterol content, which varied widely within a single species when grown on different substrates. The maximum laccase production was obtained for Aspergillus flavus TERI DB9 grown on wheat straw with molasses. For manganese peroxidase, highest production was in Aspergillus niger TERI DB20 grown on corncob with effluent. Among the two isolates positive for lignin peroxidase, the highest production was in Fusarium verticillioides ITCC 6140. This immobilized fungal biomass was then used for decolorization of effluent from a cane molasses based distillery. Maximum decolorization (86.33%) was achieved in Pleurotus ostreatus (Florida) Eger EM 1303 immobilized on corncob with molasses in a period of 28 days.

“…This is similar to what was reported by Roberta et al [16] who reported a sharp decrease in the reducing sugar during bioconversion of pineapple waste. The reduction in the reducing sugar is basically due to the activity of the Aspergillus niger as they proliferate [17]. Aspergillus niger make use of the most hydrolysable unit of sugar for the metabolism as the biomass are formed [11].…”

Solid state fermentation and bioconversion of ripe and unripe pineapple peels using aspergillus Niger

Pineapple peels are considered as waste in industrial and house hold setting. This research was aimed at converting these waste into useful product through bioconversion using Aspergillus niger. The proximate analysis, reducing sugar, pH, and titratable acidity of the both ripe and unripe peels of pine apple was carried out at the onset of the fermentation and at an interval of 24 hours for 96 hours. These analyses carried out on both ripe and the unripe peels of pineapple showed that, the crude protein increased from 3.96% to 9.84% in the ripe pineapple peel and increased from 3.21% to 6.41% in unripe peels. The crude fiber reduced from 14.09% to 3.23% in the ripe pineapple peels while the crude fiber of the unripe peels reduced from 10.15 to 4.62 at the end of the 96 hour fermentation. Increase in titratable acidity, reduction in reducing sugar and pH was recorded for both ripe and unripe peels during the fermentation period. The optimum bioconversion was recorded at 72 hours of fermentation where the pick in the crude protein was recorded. The fat content of the pineapple peel in both ripe and unripe pineapple peel remain fairly constant throughout the fermentation period. The ripe pineapple peel yielded more protein compared to the unripe pineapple peels. This is an indication that the ripe pineapple peels are more preferred for industrial application.
